Barakat Orthodontics Patient Reviews

Over the years we have been fortunate to treat friends and families of our patients.

In fact, we have treated multiple generations of families, including children, parents and grandparents!

Even though Dr. Barakat has been honored to have been selected to treat dentists, their spouses, children, hygienists and assistants during her career, her most important patient is you.

At Barakat Orthodontics, our highest compliment is your referral. On behalf of the entire Barakat Orthodontics Team, we would like to extend a big Thanks to our family of patients who have supported us over the years. We strive to continue to provide the highest level of orthodontic care.

"Getting braces post middle school comes with incredible hesitation and uncertainty--as well as expenses. While most of Dr.Barakat's patients are excited to get blue/green/pink bands, I wanted my Invisalign to be as clear as possible. Dr. Barakat and the whole staff was not only accommodating but very understanding. They took time and listened attentively to my concerns and worked with me at every step to ensure satisfaction. Even with unforeseen glitches that dental work somehow always brings, Dr. B's attitude was sunshiny and confident; her cheery disposition eased my worries immediately.

As a reluctant yet frequent dental patient, I have had the unfortunate opportunity to work with a plethora of doctors. The exceptional thing about Dr. Barakat and her team is their dedication to be much more than a medical team. I come here because not only do they improve my smile, they ensure that I have a reason to use it at every visit."

"My daughter's experience with Barakat Orthodontics has been amazing. The staff are truly kind, skilled, and professional. What I thought would be a traumatic 30 months for my daughter has turned out to be such a positive experience with no issues. Her smile has transformed from a nice smile to a gorgeous smile; the results were dramatic - thanks to Barakat Orthodontics! I would highly recommend Barakat to anyone considering orthodontic services. Dr. Barakat and her team are the best, and my daughter has even said that she will miss her regular visits to the office."

"Through five years, I came here and, although i can't say the braces were too kind to me, the staff was extremely kind and fun. They made everything so much easier than it really seemed. The experience was great, and i enjoyed coming. I would definitely recommend Dr. Barakat over to any other orthodontist."

"My family has been coming to Barakat Orthodontics since approximately 2003. My son Drew was the first to get his braces with Dr. Barakat, my daughter Kelly soon followed 3 years later. Now we're back this year with my youngest daughter Alex. I would never even consider going to another orthodontist, Dr Barakat has taken such wonderful care of my kids throughout the years. My oldest two completed their treatment with perfect smiles, and I expect exactly the same with Alex! We all love Dr Barakat and her staff, we always feel like family here. It was like coming home when I came back to the office with my youngest!"

"When I decided I needed dental restoration starting with braces I visited several orthodontists in the northern Virginia. None were as caring and supportive as Dr Barakat. She spent time understanding my expectations and concerns, she worked with my dentist and oral surgeon to ensure my treatment was timely and effective. Her staff is amazing; always friendly and supportive. A great place to start the rest of your life!!!!!"

"When I first came in to get my braces I was really nervous. After meeting everyone here I felt a lot more comfortable coming because everyone was so nice and welcoming. The people here have made this process a lot easier. Even after I got my braces off they still took an interest in me and cared about what I had to say. I'm so thankful that I was able to come to such a caring place like this."

"We found Barakat Orthodontics through friends who were patients here. Glad we listened to their referral because our whole experience with this office has been top notch. Super friendly staff. We always get explanations of where our daughter's progress is with her braces. Easy automatic withdrawal monthly payment method. Office is clean and parent and child friendly. I recommend Barakat to anyone looking for an orthodontist."

"I was referred to Dr. Barakat from one of my close friends, so I automatically felt comfortable the first day I walked into her office. The staff members and assistants are so personable that coming in every several weeks makes the experience "something you have to do" to "something you want to do." After I got my braces off I was amazed with the transformation, and I couldn't thank Dr. Barakat enough for my brand new smile, which gave me a tremendous amount of confidence. Even though its been over a year since I have gotten my braces off, Dr. Barakat still welcomes me to her office anytime I want, and I will always take up that offer! Thank you"

"Coming to Barakat Orthodontics has been a "family affair" for the past 5+ years and there is NO other orthodontist we would ever consider!! Dr. Barakat and the WHOLE staff are like one big family and their patients and families are certainly a part of that family!! Once you become part of the Barakat family......you'll never want to leave!! We LOVE this place and the staff!!!"

"All 3 of our children have been with Barakat ortho (over 7 years!) and the staff have always been the most accommodating, helpful and prompt. The wait in the office is never long (sometimes it is too fast and i cant finish the latest People) and it is always clean and organized. Dr. Barakat makes it a great experience for her patients and their parents."

"Before coming to Dr. Barakat, we tried one other orthodontist, and it was really scary! I was worried that braces would hurt, worried I would lisp like my cousin did when he got his braces, and overall worried that they wouldn't look nice. When I came to Dr. Barakat for the first time, however, she and her entire staff were extremely warm and accommodating, and my fears evaporated. Getting the braces on went much more quickly and painlessly than I'd imagined, and best of all, they were colorful! After the initial experience, checkups and new wires were no problem at all. Now I'm only a couple months away from getting my braces off, and although I'll be excited to have straight, metal-less teeth again, I'll absolutely miss Dr. Barakat and her whole, wonderful team."

"I have been working for Dr. Rana Barakat for the past 14 years and I can honestly say it has been a pleasure. I had worked as a dental assistant for another office with multiple doctors and I learned a lot. When I came to work for Dr. Barakat I thought that I knew a lot, but boy I was wrong. With her, I learned that knowing how to do procedures is not enough. I can proudly say that I have always been a hard working employee, and I have always cared about my performance and having a professional attitude. But, while working with her, I learned to honestly care about my patients and about their families. We treat patient's like family in this office. Everywhere from taking proper care of patient's accounts, to our very meticulous sterilization techniques, to constantly going to continuing educations classes to offer our patients' not only top-notch care but also the most advanced treatment options available. Most of my nephews and nieces have come here for treatment. I don't worry one bit about how their treatment is going to go. Dr. Barakat is an amazing, hard working honest orthodontist who works with every patient as if she is working with her own children. Her attitude towards work is very contagious. We often hear patients commenting about how happy we look while working, sometimes they make jokes and they ask if it is mandatory to look happy to work in this office. They also often comment about the very little staff turn over, once people begin to work here, we just don't want to leave :). There is no big secret. She is a great boss but mostly a great human being that I have had the pleasure to work for and work with for all these years. We are constantly learning new things from her. Thank you Dr.Barakat."

"I have had both children go through Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Barakat. The first started in 2008. Dr. Barakat was recommended by our regular dentist, Dr. Raymond Hahn. Dr. Hahn has extremely high standards so we didn't even look at any other orthodontists for treatment as we knew she must be the best. Over the last 5 years we have found that to be true. My daughter completed her treatment in a year exactly as Dr. Barakat estimated. And my son is on track to be finished in few months as scheduled. We are very satisfied with results.

The office and waiting area is clean and comfortable. The staff is extremely friendly pleasant and knowledgeable. They are efficient to schedule appointments and are always on schedule. We have seen little or no staff turnover in 5 years which reassuring to know that they must be happy.

They were extremely helpful setting up the treatment plans and working with the dual insurance companies to schedule payments. I walked out the first day know exactly what my portion of payments would be and what the insurance would cover.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Barakat and her staff to anyone."

"I have two children ages 16 and 13. I went to Dr. Barakat because my daughter's bite was really bad....she suggested braces after trying other methods that did not work. After a few years of treatment with Dr. Barakat and her constant supervision, the results were excellent. My daughter's teeth look beautiful and her smile is a knock out. She looks more beautiful now that she had her teeth fixed. Subsequently, my son who is presently 13 also needed braces....he is still wearing the braces. Dr. Barakat keeps a close eye on his teeth always trying to reach the best results. I have always had good experiences at Dr. Barakat's office; her staff is very competent, friendly, and helpful. I am very please with her services."

"Our most trusted doctors at Northern Virginia Pediatrics, referred us to Barakat Orthodontics several years ago and we are so grateful they did! Our family loves this practice. Professionalism, courtesy, compassion, appreciation and orthodontic expertise are all outstanding. All of these traits and many more flow directly from the top, as Dr. Rana Barakat exudes a passion for her business and care for her clients like no other person in her field.

Dr Barakat and all the nurses here have made my teeth look perfect in less than 2 years. my teeth look 100 times different and they're straighter than ever. Everyone here is so nice and helpful. Dr Barakat's office is the best orthodontist office anyone can come to."

"Our experience with Barakat Orhodontics has been exceptional. Knowing that braces for a pre-teen is certainly an 'investment' Dr. Barakat and her amazing staff has found a wonderful blend of professionalism with cutting edge technology that immediately comforted not only our daughter but also our decision to use their services. I offer my highest recommendation for any family in need of orthodontic services."

"Back in 04-05 when I first got my braces, I was a little timid and shy when it came down to showing my teeth. I knew I was in great hands especially when Dr. Barakat told me not to worry because once the braces are off my smile would be gorgeous. So when I took them off and immediately started getting compliments on how amazing my smile looks, my confidence boosted by 100. Come senior year, I was up for Best Smile in my Senior class and well what can I say I owe it all to Dr. B. She's amazing at making lives change. I now know that because of her I'm able to be confident in my smile and show my teeth off at anyone whose willing to look at them. Thank you Dr. Barakat and the proud staff of Barakat Orthodontics..."

"It is an absolute pleasure to work for such an amazing practice. It is rare to find an employer that values their employees and supports them to better themselves as much as Dr. Barakat does for her team. She is passionate about creating beautiful, stunning smiles and I am blessed to be part of the process. It is such a wonderful experience to see the transformation of our patients and their braces come off. I tell you that if you are looking for an amazing orthodontist, Dr. Barakat is it. My co-workers are like my family and once you get the Barakat Ortho experience you will know what I am talking about. We strive each day to provide the best orthodontic experience to each of our patients because we know its a very important moment in your lives. This just sums up a little bit why Barakat Orthodontics (Dr. Barakat and the rest of the Barakat Ortho ladies) rock and why I have been working here for 14 years :)"

"My experience with Barakat Orthodontics has been amazing. When I first arrived for my initial visit, I was so nervous. Their staff immediately made me and my family feel extremely comfortable. They explained each step for how the process of getting braces would be and they were always right. I loved going in for my visits because I could choose any color for a different look each time. Their entire staff is always so friendly. So many of my friends at my school are wearing braces and they all see Dr. Barakat. She's very kind and is always smiling. The most exciting part was getting my braces off. The entire staff gave me a HUGE CELEBRATION which includes pictures, videos, treats and Barakat bucks. I actually earned over 50 during my treatments and I can cash them in for movie tickets or gift cards. My parents were always happy with the staff and they are extremely happy for me. The extra treats in the waiting room has always been something that we all look forward to during each visit."
